in my last game (i was playing arcoscephale) i built a huge army of lifeless/mindless beings, mostly statues and siege golems. everything worked well and i even won he game, but there's still something that makes me wonder:
during the last battles the enemy (in this case it was a difficult marignon AI) did cast "blind" on most my siege golems.
here are my questions...

1. why aren't golems immune to blindness ?
2. is there a way to make them immune to blindness ?
3. is there any way to cure their blindness in battle ?

1. because, technically, they have eyes (you could GiftofReason a golem to make it a commander; it would be able to use the magic eyes in the misc slot)

2. no (other than high magic resistance)

3. in battle - no

Related Question:What about magical eyes and creatures being eyless or having multiple eyes? Will the magical eyes work too? Will two magical eyes make them go blind nonetheless?

Two magical eyes certainly makes two-eyed critters blind. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif I think that with more eyes, the unit will lose two eyes but won't go blind.

With enough strength, it seems that two mechanical eyes can fit one eye hole http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif .

i dont think there is a limit to how many magical eyes you may have but having more of them than you have actual eyes will make you blind

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif Hilarious! There ought to be a story about a Cyclops who forged himself two magical eyes to see better and who was then rewarded with blindness for his eagerness...maybe he got an ill-formed forging recipe from a malignant witch that cheated him...

That's nothing! Zirru the Grand Thaumaturg can use three eyes at once. He presumably keeps one on the tip of his tail.

Or maybe middle of his palm. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif
